/0 Comments/in , /by

Former modeling agency boss Jean-Luc Brunelwho, who was suspected of supplying underage girls to Jeffrey Epstein, was found hanging in a prison cell Saturday.

French prosecutors confirmed the report of his death and are looking into the cause of it, but it is suspected to be suicide, The Guardian reported.

Brunel was a French model scout and modeling agency manager. He was arrested in Paris by French authorities in December 2020, the New York Times reported. He was under investigation for allegations of rape and sexual assault against minors.

Brunel was most well known for being the head of Karin Models and MC2 Model Management. He founded MC2 Model Management with funding from Jeffrey Epstein, The Guardian reported.

After Brunel’s arrest, Thysia Huisman, a Dutch former model, came forward and said that Brunel raped her as a teen. (Read more from “Another High Level Epstein Associate Supposedly Commits Suicide in Jail” HERE)

Brace Yourselves for Uncomfortable Testimony About Prince Andrew’s ‘Private Parts’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prince Andrew will almost certainly be asked about his private parts in his sex-assault lawsuit — and his accuser’s attorneys will likely try to depose Queen Elizabeth II, according to a lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein victims.

The 61-year-old UK royal will be called on to give a deposition under oath after failing Wednesday in his bid to toss the lawsuit filed by longtime accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre — leaving nothing off the table.

“It is without question the Duke will be asked about his private parts,” Spencer Kuvin, an attorney for several Epstein victims, told the Mirror.

“Nothing is off limits, because if an underage girl can describe what the Duke of York’s private parts look like … how would that be if they had not had a relationship?” Kuvin asked.

Andrew would not have to fly to the US — where authorities have long wanted to quiz him on what he knew about pedophile pal Epstein — but would be questioned “under oath, under penalty of perjury of US law” by Giuffre’s legal team, Kuvin said.

The Great Epstein Cover-Up

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Barry Krischer was the first prosecutor to let Epstein off for child molestation. The local police presented then-Palm Beach state attorney Krischer with bales of evidence. They had affidavits from dozens of witnesses: girls abused by the pederast, the women who recruited them, the butler who cleaned up sex toys after the “massages,” as well as records of Epstein’s molestation appointments, one delayed because of a victim’s “soccer practice.”

Pretty much everything we know today about Epstein’s sex ring was unearthed by the Palm Beach Police back in 2005 and handed to Krischer on a silver platter.

Five underage girls had given police sworn statements that Epstein had sexually abused them, backed by 17 other witnesses, but when Krischer brought the case to the grand jury, weirdly, he allowed only one of the girls to testify — and then attacked her on the stand! (Epstein’s attorneys had helpfully provided Krischer’s office with the girl’s posts on MySpace, where she talked about boys and drinking, the little harlot.)

According to an extensive review by The Palm Beach Post, most of Krischer’s 2,800-page investigative file on the case consists of dirt against the teens — and against the police — given to him by Epstein’s lawyers. (Thanks, Epstein attorneys! Do we owe you anything?)

The grand jurors, who’d been meticulously kept in the dark by Krischer, ended up voting only for a single charge of “solicitation of prostitution” against Epstein in 2006. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years’ probation. No jail time, no record as a sex offender — no criminal record whatsoever. (Read more from “The Great Epstein Cover-Up” HERE)

Slammed Shut: Prosecutors End Criminal Case Against Jeffrey Epstein’s Prison Guards

/0 Comments/in , /by

US prosecutors ended the criminal case against the two Manhattan prison guards tasked with guarding convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein on the night of his suicide and who admitted to falsifying records.

Federal prosecutors Thursday asked a judge to dismiss charges against Tova Noel and Michael Thomas in Manhattan following their six-month deferred prosecution deal reached in May that kept the two jailers out of jail. They instead each agreed to complete 100 hours of community service and to cooperate with federal investigators’ probe into Epstein’s death.

Noel and Thomas, who were working overtime shifts, allegedly sat just five yards from Epstein’s cell, but shopped online and took breaks instead of checking his cell every 30 minutes as required.

The guards admitted that they “willfully and knowingly” lied on forms stating that they’d made the required rounds checking on inmates the night of Epstein’s 2019 suicide. (Read more from “Slammed Shut: Prosecutors End Criminal Case Against Jeffrey Epstein’s Prison Guards” HERE)

Judge in Ghislaine Maxwell Case Fears One Thing That Might Derail Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller. The judge for the Ghislaine Maxwell trial informed the jury Monday that deliberations would be extended to 6 p.m., an hour longer than normal, due to concerns about the surge in the Omicron variant in New York City.

“We are seeing an astronomical spike in the number of COVID-positive cases in New York City,” Judge Alison Nathan said, according to ABC News.

“We are very simply at a different place regarding the pandemic than we were only one week ago and we now face a high and escalating risk that jurors and/or trial participants may need to quarantine,” she added, according to CNN. “Accordingly, extending deliberations by an hour gives the jury more time each day to continue to engage in its thoughtful deliberations.”

Nathan noted that she would also ask jurors to continue their deliberation through New Years without a break for the holiday, citing the risk that the trial could be disrupted by the rising coronavirus cases.

“In light of the variant, my concern about the interruption of the trial, given the increasing daily risk of exposure to either a juror or trial participant requiring quarantine — it is time to think about having the jury make plans to deliberate until a verdict is reached,” she said, according to ABC News.

Ghislaine Maxwell Trial Judge May Have Jurors Deliberate Every Day This Week Until They Reach a Verdict

By New York Post. The jury weighing Ghislaine Maxwell’s fate revealed late Tuesday afternoon that it is “making progress” after its fourth full day of deliberations – and the judge said she may ask the panel to huddle every day this week till it reaches a verdict.

The jurors sent a note to Judge Alison Nathan about 4:45 p.m., writing they were making headway in reaching a verdict.

“Our deliberations are moving along, and we are making progress. We are at a good point,” they wrote.

They then asked to be dismissed at 5 p.m. and return Wednesday at 9 a.m.

Nathan agreed to the request — but also warned the panelists that they should be prepared to deliberate every day this week, including Friday, New Year’s Eve, until they reach a verdict.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Cellmate Dishes on the Pedophile’s Final Days

/0 Comments/in , /by

With Ghislaine Maxwell’s current trial, I’m printing what I don’t think may have been already reported. Right after Jeffrey Epstein’s death, his cellmate Bill Mersey sent me this. I’ve held it all this time and have condensed Mersey’s voluminous pages:

“If you didn’t want to kill yourself before, you would after a few days at MCC. Minus trained psychologists, it was inmates who, with a whole three hours’ training, had to watch four Suicide cells on the second floor.

“Inmates were stowed away in 50 square feet with a cellmate and nothing to do but kill themselves. No commissary or phone access. ‘Training’ was mostly ogling the female psychologist teaching it. The pay, 12 cents, up to 40 cents, an hour. . .

“Epstein was soft as a pillow and not prepared to handle this. He requested protective custody. He was scared and he did not get over it. Handling prison constantly occupied his mind. To sleep he’d place an orange prison sock over his eyes. . .

“The prison was abuzz with our new felon. He talked finance, saying, ‘Stocks are like women. You have to study to see what makes them happy. Observe their reaction to international news. Then you can predict their movements and that’s how you win.’ ” (Read more from “Jeffrey Epstein’s Cellmate Dishes on the Pedophile’s Final Days” HERE)

Inside the Abandoned Estates Jeffrey Epstein Shared With Ghislaine Maxwell

/0 Comments/in , /by

Amid the lurid ongoing trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, who is charged with grooming many of late pedo-perv Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, never-before-seen photos of the estates he shared with his “lady of the house” have come to light.

Two years after the disgraced financier’s death at 66 by hanging in a federal jail cell, these images — seized by officials who conducted raids into all of his homes — offer a glimpse at what’s become of Epstein’s sprawling properties, including his most off-the-radar compound located in the Virgin Islands, which remains abandoned. . .

Most notorious is Epstein’s island, commonly referred to as “pedo” island, where victims have described in detail trying to swim off the shore in shark-infested water, almost drowning to escape the abuse they faced at the hands of Epstein and his colleagues. . .

The Florida mansion in Palm Beach where prosecutors say Epstein sexually abused underage girls and women for many years was demolished in April after developer Todd Michael Glaser bought the site for $18.5 million in March. . .

Epstein’s New York townhouse — where the late pedophile once kept nude photos of girls, creepy taxidermy and a bizarre painting of Bill Clinton in a blue dress — was sold for a little under $50 million in March.

Weird Feetish? Raunchy Photos Show Ghislaine Maxwell Getting Handsy With Epstein

/0 Comments/in , /by

Raunchy photos show Ghislaine Maxwell giving disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein a foot massage as prosecutors unearth dozens of never-before-seen photos depicting their creepy relationship.

Maxwell is seen aboard a plane with Epstein holding his barefoot in her lap as she massages it, with Epstein appearing to be pleased. . .

In one photo, Maxwell appears to be showing Epstein and an unidentified individual her cleavage while taking a break from giving a foot massage.

The images were found during a 2019 raid at Epstein’s home on the Upper East Side, FBI analyst Kimberly Meder testified, according to the New York Post. (Read more from “Weird Feetish? Raunchy Photos Show Ghislaine Maxwell Getting Handsy With Epstein” HERE)

Witness to Horrors: Ghislaine Maxwell Allegedly Asked Teen to Recruit Others; Second Alleged Epstein Victim Testifies in Maxwell Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. A former British model took the stand Monday to detail how she was allegedly lured into Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit by Ghislaine Maxwell at 17 — and asked to recruit other girls to give him oral sex.

The woman, identified only as “Kate” for privacy reasons, testified that the British socialite introduced her to Epstein at Maxwell’s London townhouse in the early 1990s and convinced her to give him a sexual massage soon after.

Maxwell even tried to get Kate to recruit others to give the late pedophile oral sex, telling her he liked “cute, young, pretty” girls, “like you.”

“She would ask me if I knew anybody to come and give Jeffrey a blowjob because it was a lot for her to do,” recalled Kate, who is also a former actress.

The witness, now 44, said the duo promised to help with her budding music career and bragged about the powerful people they knew, including Prince Andrew and Donald Trump. (Read more from “Witness to Horrors: Ghislaine Maxwell Allegedly Asked Teen to Recruit Others for Oral Sex” HERE)

Second Alleged Epstein Victim Testifies in Maxwell Trial

By Washington Post. A woman who says she had a years-long sexual relationship with Jeffrey Epstein told jurors on Monday that Ghislaine Maxwell played a key role in facilitating their encounters, first telling her that Epstein was a philanthropist interested in helping young people and then encouraging her to give him massages. . .

Kate was the second alleged Epstein victim to testify in the trial. Last week, a woman who said she was 14 when the sexual encounters with Epstein began described a similar process of being groomed by Maxwell.

On Monday, Kate said she continued communicating with Epstein for years, into her 30s, including during visits to his Palm Beach, Fla., home and his private island in the Caribbean. She exchanged emails with Epstein as he was serving a jail sentence in Florida, following a controversial plea deal that resulted in a relatively lenient sentence, about a year behind bars.

Ghislaine Maxwell Trial: Epstein Kept Cds With Nude Photos Catalogued With Police-Style Evidence Tape

By Fox News. The FBI found a trove of photos of nude women and girls at Jeffrey Epstein’s New York City townhouse when they performed search warrants following the financier’s arrest on sex trafficking charges in July 2019. In a closet of one of the floors of the 7-story residence, the agents found boxes with CDs that contained some of those photographs with police-like yellow “evidence” tape on them, a special agent with the FBI testified at Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial.

In another room and closet, the FBI found “numerous black binders” with white labels. Special agent Kelly McGuire said the binders had “clear pages containing thumbnail photos with CDs attached.”

The witness told the tale of how the FBI searched Epstein’s $77 million New York home to the jurors. The agents buzzed but after no answer, they forced their entry to the residence and started performing a protective sweep to make sure there was no threat to them.

On the third floor, in a dressing room, they found a safe that they pulled out from a closet and brought in a saw to open it. There were several items in it that the FBI photographed such as more “binders with CDs, various items of jewelry, external hard-drives, lose diamonds, large amounts of U.S. currency and passports.” However, they needed a second search warrant in order to retrieve those items. So, they returned a few days later, except that the items that had been removed from the safe were missing. An attorney for Epstein then returned all the items to the agents.

PLAYING THE VICTIM: Ghislaine Maxwell’s Defense Keeps ‘Spotlight’ on Epstein, Other Powerful Men; Odd: Maxwell Makes Her Own Drawings of the Court Sketch Artists During Trial; Victim Calls Maxwell ‘Engineer of Epstein’s Abuse’

/1 Comment/in , /by

By NBC News. The British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is the one accused of sex trafficking, but during the first five days of testimony in a New York City courtroom her lawyers have put her deceased boss, Jeffrey Epstein, and his famous friends on trial, legal experts say.

That strategy quickly became evident on the first day of the long-awaited trial when attorney Bobbi Sternheim, in her opening statement, dipped into the book of Genesis to defend Maxwell. . .

In fact, Maxwell’s defense team is subtly trying to portray her as Epstein’s first victim, the experts said. . .

“The defense has signaled its intention to make Epstein central to this trial,” Tuerkheimer said. “By portraying him as charismatic, well-connected, almost larger than life, her team may well be hoping to make Maxwell disappear into the background. Epstein’s star-studded life of fame and riches can grab the jury’s attention and focus, increasing the odds that Maxwell appears as a merely peripheral figure in the story.” (Read more from “PLAYING THE VICTIM: Ghislaine Maxwell’s Defense Keeps ‘Spotlight’ on Epstein, Other Powerful Men” HERE)

Odd: Maxwell Makes Her Own Drawings of the Court Sketch Artists During Trial

By New York Post. Turns out Ghislaine Maxwell really is a sketch artist.

New York-based Illustrator Elizabeth Williams has 40 years of experience drawing people in court but says it was a first when Maxwell, on trial for sex-trafficking, started sketching her.

Williams was at Maxwell’s November pre-trial hearing when she said the British heiress, seated between her two lawyers, looked back at her and began staring while apparently drawing her, the Sun reported Friday. She did it a second time during jury selection.

Fellow illustrator Jane Rosenberg, who’s also at the Maxwell trial and was also drawn by Maxwell, created a picture of the weird encounter that went viral.

“It was like she didn’t think anyone would notice,” Williams said of the initial staring and drawing encounters. “She stared right at us, and it was definitely an odd moment. (Read more from “Odd: Maxwell Makes Her Own Drawings of the Court Sketch Artists During Trial” HERE)

One of the sexual abuse survivors, Sarah Ransome — who says she was repeatedly raped by Epstein over a nine-month period — described Ms Maxwell as a “very sick woman” who took pleasure in “humiliating” her victims. . .

Ms Ransome said: “Ghislaine enjoyed humiliating us. You could see the enjoyment in her face.” (Read more from “Victim Calls Maxwell ‘Engineer of Epstein’s Abuse’ as Trial Resumes Today” HERE)
